Drove my Chevy to the levy..wait what?

Saw Superbad today...the movie had its moments. Its good to see what our "All Powerful" Caucasian overlords like to do in their grad parties. But these movies are becoming too much of a cliche. Much like Al Pachino's acting has slumped down to loud shouting and oddly over-reacted lines.

Here are some totally random songs I've been listening to lately. Most of them were part of the back-ground music of some movie trailer I watched recently. These are the only things that have kept me sane from the insane week I had recently dodging near misses on Electronics and Thermodynamics Viva board..heh heh.

* I've got to see you again - Norah Jones (Nice going জারজ. You rule..sometimes)
* Kung Fu Fighting -Carl Douglas (quintessential Mano-a-mano battle song)
* Ain't no love in the heart of the city - Bobby Blue Bland
* Moving in stereo - The Cars (Damn, I've finally found one of those songs I heard first on my sister's boombox in the 90s. The other one was probably UB-40s "Red Red Wine". Now those were crap songs. But I've learned to like them...at least for the sake of some neural reminisce).
* Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered - Ella Fitzgerald ( Didn't know Abbu's old LP collection in the feverish store-room had such gold. I've seen some of Abbu's old Cornell pics with those hip 80's bell bottom pants and everything, but damn, he must've been quite a jazzy man himself.)
* American Pie- Don Mclean (This is one good song...too bad about 99% of the world outside US doesn't live the kind of "American" life Don says his "good ole" boys do )

Lets end this with one of my favourite "bar notice(s)" from the heart of the "Cradle of Civilization". The following was taken in front of a Nigerian bar



I wish my life was nearly as naive.

chevrolet, levy, bangladesh, bar, africa, american, pie, ramadan, song
